I have compiled Lynx 2.8.6dev.18 with PDCurses 2.6 with color_style enabled.
My style sheets now work!  I'm sad to report that, like 2.8.5, when bringing 
up an external
program such as system editor after you exit the editor and return to Lynx, 
the style sheet
turns to black background with gray text.  This makes it impossible to see 
where you are in
the document because there is no highlighting.  However, compiling without 
color_style enabled
allows you to use external programs without the style sheet disappearing.  I 
guess I'm stuck
with the default style sheet, which is fine anyway.
